Graves' disease is caused by overactivation of the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). One approach for its treatment may be the use of negative allosteric modulators (NAM) of TSHR, which normalize TSHR activity and do not cause thyroid hormone (TH) deficiency. The aim of the work was to study the effect of a new compound 5-amino-4-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(methylthio)thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6-carboxylic acid N-tert-butylamide (TPY4) on the basal and TSH-stimulated TH production in cultured FRTL-5 thyrocytes and on basal and thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH)-stimulated TH levels in the blood of rats.
